WHO WE LOOK FOR

Goldman Sachs Engineers are innovators and problem-solvers, building solutions in risk management, big data, mobile and more.

Our engineers develop lowlatency, scalable, and resilient solutions which drive global equities sales and trading at Goldman Sachs.

OUR IMPACT

The EMEA Equities Electronic Trading Post-Trade & Client Experience team develops the systems used for processing all GS EMEA Cash Equity orders and executions from Front Office systems - enriching them and passing to systems throughout GS. We work with colleagues in the Front Office as well as the operational areas covering booking, compliance and regulatory reporting to offer the best level of service to our clients. We jointly develop software with teams globally. We need to cope with high volumes without issues, so we have a significant focus on scalability, resilience and test automation. The ability to be agile and deliver new functionality quickly while providing a stable platform is critical to our equities business. Working closely with front office and engineering we build systems used globally to manage client preferences and client on-boarding. Our systems integrate with all aspects of front office from execution to booking. Web based user interfaces, REST API’s and workflow systems are used to give ownership of client behavior to sales and trading while maintaining required control, validation and audit trail. We seek to improve efficiency and reduce time to market by adding new API’s, workflows and system requirements.

YOUR IMPACT

Working as part of team you will make improvements and add new features for our clients and users of our systems within GS. You will improve and write new systems that have to handle millions of events daily, coping seamlessly with volume spikes and outages. You will be involved in all parts of the project life-cycle that includes design, implementation and testing. You’ll make a real difference for GS and our clients with a mixture of quick/small changes as well as big new features and significant shifts in architecture.
